Coaching
A leading acting coach in Europe and the U.K., Giles Foreman specializes in working with experienced actors who are wrestling with complex roles and high-pressure situations.
Our GFCA movement coaches work with actors to create transformative physical characterizations and choreograph complex movement sequences, as in the Emmy-winning Netflix show The Empress.
